I was in search of a new lawyer when a neighbor told me about Terri. The first time we spoke she listened, understood, and believed my experiences. I was 2+ years into my divorce and the difficulties of the custody battle were increasing. Terri knew which steps to take to turn this around and fight f...or what was best for my child. Her knowledge in Guardian Ad Litem work and Domestic Violence made me feel confident in her representation of me. Terri never stopped working for me; even after hours or on weekends. Please follow her advice and listen to her expertise. She is not afraid of a fight and will fight for you!

As father I felt I had no right to my child due to the system. But Terri was not only able to help me get legal joint custody, but she also helped me through my case. It is hard for a father in the legal system and Terri not only made sure we had everything we needed she also fought hard for me. She ...is more on top of her game than any other lawyer my ex-wife tried to bring into the court. I was at ease knowing she was fighting in my corner. It hard going through a divorce and wondering if you will ever get to have time with you kid. She is straight forward and tells you what you need to do to make you look good. follow her directions and she will not steer you wrong.

I would highly recommend Terri Tinder to anyone in a heartbeat. She is so compassionate and professional. She went above and beyond for me during my ugly divorce and child custody case. Terri is very thorough and does not take your case with a grain of salt, she has a mission and works so hard on it.... I cannot thank this woman enough for her attentiveness. She went to battle for myself and my daughters and won me full custody of both of my girls and got a heinous man out of our lives. I know that she was on my side the whole way and she brought me great comfort during the hard times. She went above and beyond her duties as my lawyer. I am so happy she came into my life.

Before I get into my story, I want to express my tremendous respect and appreciation for Terri right at the beginning. She was a true professional, a courageous fighter and completely empathetic towards the situation my family was thrust into. My ex-wife, who was awarded the home in our divorce, ha...d failed to abide by our divorce decree and refinance the home which was solely in my name. Furthermore, unbeknownst to me, she had failed to pay the mortgage for 6 months which resulted in the home going into foreclosure. Last, but certainly not least, the home was left in horrific condition and ultimately abandoned. I was left with a monumental amount of debt, a mortgage company that had filed suit against me and was staring down a foreclosure for a home I didn’t want and was in need of major repairs. The icing on the cake was that my family and I got to begin this adventure right as we were nearing Christmas. Needless to say, I was panicking. My wife happened to came across Terri's name on AVVO and, given her specialty, I decided to call. Terri spent nearly 45 minutes on the phone with me that day. Hearing the compassion in her voice led to an in-person meeting and from that point, I knew she was the right choice. Not only did Terri successfully take on the mortgage company, she also fought tirelessly to rectify the wrongdoings and damages done by my ex-wife. The latter was ultimately the hardest and most stressful part of the process. Yet, through all of the blood pressure raising situations, Terri never backed down. She never waived a white flag. She fought until things were made right. My family is so thankful that we had Terri in our corner. I honestly don't know if anyone else could have handled the many unique and difficult challenges we faced, nor would have had the patience to stick through the copious amount of craziness we dealt with week in and week out. The aforementioned empathy shined throughout the process. I felt that Terri took my case to heart and made it very personal. I honestly cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend her.

I had a referral from a friend to see Terry for a pretty dramatic and abrupt end of a mess of an 18 year marriage. I experienced her to be quite friendly but also expedient regarding gathering all the facts of the case. As the case went on and as our rapport grew, I found her to truly care and she ju...st refused to allow the facts of the case to be misrepresented. She was very open to gathering all the needed story-she heard me out completely. Our case eventually went to settlement where she then was compassionate about the end of my marriage which still has some very real love left in it. But alas the co-dependence had to stop; we were growing in different directions and ended up pulling each other apart rather than having a mutually respectful partnership. I say all this to highlight that Terry was 100% committed all the way through. I don't know how I would have gotten through without her. So many other lawyers were sterile and jaded. Having a background as a court advocate really shone through till the end. She was very diligent and knowledgeable, but by far the greatest asset I found in her was the fact that she really cared. I highly recommend her.
